Bass Strait and adjacent waters feature some of the world’s
most suitable formations for the permanent underground
storage of carbon dioxide emissions. The off-shore locations,
near to the State’s large carbon emitters, are untroubled by
the community concerns and planning delays which plague
several proposed on-shore sequestration developments.
In addition, several brown coal power generators invest in
coal drying and dewatering technologies, with Government
grants. This reduces the moisture content of brown coal
prior to combustion and substantially improves the efficiency
of existing coal-fired power generators and a corresponding
reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
